During a campaign, most french people get their information from television, and Sarkozy has total control on TV and the press media in France. It is impossible for the socialists to regain power in France as long as media is controlled by huge companies that are the friends of the right wing politicians.

The only solution for France and for many other countries that have political immobillism and a right wing ultra-capitalistic agenda, is to build a new form of media and democracy using the Internet. Currently the Internet has some forums, blogs, video systems, content managment systems that permits some interesting fenomenons. But still the barrier to entry is too low to affect elections.

Ségolène Royal did the absolute best online campaign in the world at http://desirsdavenir.org, using the Internet to promote better democracy in France, using the Internet to broadcast video messages to millions of viewers. Ségolène Royal’s Internet campaign beat all the world records in terms of use of of the Web. But the use of the Web needs to go much further that that, and reach into the living room of a majority of the citizen before it can really affect election results.

I believe the french socialists should invest the little money and ambition required to try and really revolutionnize the media, and providing an alternative decentralized access to information to a majority of citizens. This is the only way that reasonable politics will be able to regain the power in states where a monopolizing right-wing owned media has a monopoly on all the way small political tricks are performed to force the public opinion on the side of corrupted right-wing politicians. The revolution in media and information in a much more profound way is required for democracy to become just and effective to change things for the best for most people.

You can follow my video-blogging from the french presidential campaign at http://sego.tv. I will be adding new videos everyday from around France, those videos are all in french, I might try to provide subtitles in 8 languages using voice-recognition technology.

The last 3 days I was filming in Marseille, Aix en Provence, Mouans Sartoux and Cannes, and now I am in Nice adding more videos, encoding, doing edited versions but all videos are also posted in their full unedited length, and I interview all french people and letting them say whatever they want about the presidential campaign.

And Bush tried to destroy the Internet at the end of the year 2000 when he was entering office, by instructing a stock market crash on all the biggest Internet developments.

Also recently Bush has taken search-results from other search engines than Google to try and trick Americans for the latest legislative elections. Also recently, Bush has tried to destroy the root DNS servers, destroy the domain system by delocalizing ICAAN out of USA control and to implement the tiered bandwidth system blocking out freedom on the Internet in favour of trying for the established media to keep control over the media usage of citizen.

The Internet is overwhelmingly a social justice tool more than it is a monopolistic capital control tool, and the ultra liberals know it, they have just been trying to delay and slow down this big democratic revolution.

I posted this as a comment on MartinVarsavsky.com:

If Bill Gates, Warren Buffet and a few other billionnaires can donate less than 5% of their stock value per year. 1-2 billion per year out of their Fortune of 30 or 50 billion dollars if they sold all their stocks today, which they might not really be able to..

So to what I understand, it’s kind of like that they are just donating the interests on their fortune to charity. Which is great. And since they have to sell off a billion or more of their stock to do that each year, that might be the most and the fastest they can do it.

The thing I’m trying to say is that if a few american billionnaires can be convinced to voluntarilly donate even 5% per year of their personal fortunes towards international Charity, that’s great. I don’t know if it’s gonna be enough to rapidly solve all the problems in the third world and in the developped countries themselves which is said to be caused by capitalism or bad governments.

Basically capitalism hasn’t cared for the poor since there is no fast return on investment when one invests in the poor. And the Governments haven’t cared much for the poor neigther because solving their problems and seeing the positive results on the actions take takes longer than the election cycle.

Although most people in our societies probably seriously care about the poor and really want the poors problems be resolved even if it has to take some industry-wide long term investment movements and some visionary multi-election cycle political action. Hopefully some individual philanthropists can convince the industries to get together and invest in the poor populations and hopefully some courageous politicians will take the initiative for some big governmental investments in getting rid of the miseries.

I have been in North-Eastern city of Shenyang in China for the last more than 3 months, using the available 1mbit/512kbit broadband connection here everyday. It’s about 12$ per month for this ADSL connection, which they set-up for you in a day with a technician to come within an hour and setup your computer if you have trouble (it’s PPPOE).

I have access Google.com perfectly! Though Google images sometimes does not work, and gmail.com often does not work, but I have no probvlem receiving all my gmails using POP account and Mozilla Thunderbird. Wikipedia and Blogspot are blocked. But all blocked sites are simply the chinese ISP’s DNS filtering a few sites! Nothing so bad about it! And easilly circumvened anonymously by using a http-port proxy server located outside China!

BitTorrent works great here. Sometimes the bitrate on single-connection file transfers to users outside China is slow, about 5kb/s, thus I simply have to use multiple connection techniques, like BitTorrent, or like splitting a file up, sending with multiple skype file transfer connections and reassembling the file with WinRar. But that is probably because we are so many people in China using the backbone bandwidth at some certain high peak times, the chinese ISP will probably buy more bandwidth and every connection will be faster, and probably quite soon users will get choices for faster than 1mbit/512kbit internet, at least in this city of Shenyang.

My opinion about Google.cn filtering a few words and sites is simply that the Chinese government want the search results to filter out results, thus not to display Google’s cache of sites which the Government anyways are filtering out on their DNS servers. This is really I think not a big deal, and just a matter of time before the Chinese government will decide to cancel all those meaningless bans.

I understand the chinese government is scared of certain Blogs and of chinese people mobillizing for somekind of Democracy. I am not certain if the chinese Government is evil or not, but I have a feeling that they are not necessarilly very evil, since in this city of 7 million people there are no beggars or people living in the street. Though many chinese people have very bad and booring jobs, like cleaning the streets in the cold, but every city in America also have it’s % of people with crappy jobs. I understand the chinese government needs to secure and implement the right new laws that will permit a good kind of Democracy to emerge. I understand people here don’t want some group of people like the Geroge Bush group to take over control of the government too quickly!! USA is certainly not a good example of good Democracy. China needs to embrace and develop together with Google the best possible and Web 2.0 kind of systems that will permit Democracy to exist and that it will be infllible for evil people like Bush to somehow trick the electoral process and take control on the government only for private interests push for control over Oil and War.

I think those Americans think they have freedom of speech, but it’s useless if when you talk nobody listens to you because a certain group of billionnaires control the media and trick the democratic process every 4 years.

Imagine all world countries use the same Money system. All people would have to register their money in this strictly digital money system. Then all people of the world will have to pay the same tax. A tax that is more in % for rich people compared to poor people who would ultimately be able to receive help this way.

This is the end of paper and coins, the end of having different currencies in every country. One currency, one value and one tax for all people of the world. The end of money laundering, of tax evcasion, of corruption, of monopoly, of unfair business practices, of crual misery and meaningless chaotic helplessness in this world.

After a fixed deadline it will simply be impossible to submit money for UN digital bank system digitalisation from old bank accounts and in paper and coins. Effectively disrupting most of the things that make ultra capitalism such a bad and immoral thing for the well being of as many people as possible on this planet.

A fixed deadline will be set by the government for all cash to be converted to digital numbers on each persons state controlled bank account. Each person gets the personal pocket computer on which they manage their account. They can make a transfer wirelessly to another person in the direct proximity or pay anyone else in the world. This permits the state to constantly know how much money everyone has. Prices at any store can be set proportionally with the wealth of the buyer, though prices are always to be fair.

Profits will no longer be holdable secret. Before any receipient sends or receives money from another user, he can see how much money that other user has.

Slowly the money system will change into a credit system. Where people who deserve credit gets more of it than others, but credit will then be distributed fairly and reasonably. Luxury will be for anyone to be able to do what they want, and the system will make sure of that. No longer will there be problems of money inbetween people, the concept of IT Communism is about knowing that there is space for everybody, but not if we don’t organize well. And that good organisation will happen with the next generation IT.

Capitalism works only because of secrets and lies. Corruption, money laundering and tax evasion are some of the pillars that hold current society together.

Admit communism was an impossible system 50 years ago, unlike now with the computers and the internet technologies. Give a perfect personal wireless computer to every person. Open the borders. People have no immediate place to go, no country will take in 22 million economical refugees at once. Invite the world in to come and fix the country.
